Intel wipes the floor with Samsung

Intel has managed to extend its lead over nearest rival Samsung, according to a new report from beancounters at IC Insights.

The report shows that Intel increased its lead over number two Samsung with 44 percent higher sales.

Another chipmaker on the block, Nvidia, saw its sales fall by six percent but at least it did better than Panasonic whose sales declined by 9 percent.

The figures do not show the effects of ON's purchase of Sanyo Semiconductor in the first quarter of 2011, this caused ON's semiconductor sales to jump by 58 percent.

In total, the top 20 semiconductor suppliers showed a sales increase of 11 percent in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to a year ago. This growth rate is one point greater than IC Insights' full-year 2011 worldwide semiconductor market forecast of 10 percent.

All of the big five memory suppliers grew this year. Everyone other than Elpida, that is. The growth was thanks to strong results from flash memory products which made up for the tanking DRAM production.

Samsung, Micron Technology and Toshiba had double-digit increases on year in the first quarter.

However, since Elpida was DRAM dependant, it suffered from a 31 percent drop in revenues, IC Insights said.

Eğer benim gibi siz de işinizin önemli bir bölümünü pazar araştırması yaparak geçiriyorsanız muhtemelen siz de en az benim kadar Türkiye'de pazar verisine ulaşmanın ne kadar zor olduğu hakkında defalarca şikayet etmiş ve sonunda yaratıcı yollar keşfetme yolunu tercih etmişsinizdir. Bunun sebebinin analitik düşünceye ihtiyacımızın olmaması mı, tembellik mi, kısa vadeli düşünmemiz mi yoksa insanüstü tahmin ve öngörü yeteneklerine sahip olmamız mı emin değilim. "Y ou can’t manage what you can’t measure " - "Ö lçemedeğiniz şeyi yönetemezsiniz " Her ne kadar bu söz, günümüze yanlış bir şekilde aktarılmış olsa da, kendi içerisinde kısmi bir doğruluk barındırmakta. Aslında bu söz ile anlatılmak istenen, ölçerek herşeyin yönetilemeyeceği fakat sonuçları iyileştirmek için süreçlerin ölçülmesi ve takip edilmesinin önemli olduğudur. Sözün asıl sahibi W. Edward Deming, verinin ve gözlemin önemini aşağıdaki sözüyle çok güzel bir şekilde anlatmaktadır....

A Creative Way to Meet Investors - UberX

Have a cool startup idea, and want to get it funded? You could go the traditional route, blindly sending your pitch deck to every VC in Silicon Valley. Or you could follow investors on Twitter, hoping that through casual badinage you can win the hearts (and eventually, the wallets) of your startup's money source. Or maybe, just maybe, you should drive for Uber. UberX Lowers The Bar Yes, Uber, the popular mobile app that connects drivers with people who need a lift. Founded in 2009 as UberCab, Uber has become the go-to app for hailing a sedan in markets like San Francisco, New York City and London. And while historically Uber operators have been commercial sedan drivers filling time between jobs their employer provides them, Uber's introduction of UberX in July 2012 has opened the service to cars and drivers of all kinds. This means that not only will you be picked up in a Toyota Prius or Volkswagen Jetta instead of a Lincoln Town Car, but you're also going...
